Remove from heat; stir in spinach, cranberries and bread crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk; add to sausage mixture and toss until moistened. , Turn over squash; fill with sausage mixture.

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife cut off the very top and bottom of each squash to create a flat base on each side (being careful not to cut through the center cavity).
• Slice the squash in half, scrape out seeds to create individual bowls for the stuffing.
• Drizzle each squash half with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Roast in a preheated oven at 400˚F (200˚C) for 40-50 minutes - or until fork tender.
• While squash is roasting - in a large fry pan over medium heat - heat oil and add Onion, Celery, Salt, Pepper, and Rosemary. Cook until onions begin to soften.
• Add Garlic and Sausage, until sausage is browned on all sides.
• Add Apple until slightly softened. Finally mix in Bread Crumbs and Parmesan cheese just until incorporated. Remove from heat.
• Once Squash has finished roasting (when you can easily poke it with a fork) remove from oven and fill each with prepared stuffing mixture.
• Return to Oven for 20 minutes - adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the top for the final 5 minutes.
• Enjoy!
